February 2, 201312 yr You said earlier that you bought a reconditioned manifold. Have you still got the old one that fits properly?Id be inclined to put that back on and try it, see if it makes a difference
February 2, 201312 yr Author You said earlier that you bought a reconditioned manifold. Have you still got the old one that fits properly? Id be inclined to put that back on and try it, see if it makes a difference Yes it is a reconditioned, better than the earlier one...one which came fitted had the "gap" issue and the forceful fitting had splitted the carb joint, yet it worked still..
February 23, 201312 yr Author Hi Guys...I increased the hole size to match that of the manifold...fitted everything and set petcock to PRI and cranked..pulled the choke also but didnt start....
February 23, 201312 yr Author After leaving some time at PRI, upon pulling choke she started, then I set the idle screw somewhat higher, she was starting ok, then I left her for few hours and tried to start now...its night now and the temperature is low...she doesnt start now

February 24, 201312 yr The vac line to the petcock needs to fit tight no cracks ,if thats good, then the diaphram in the petcock is no good. You can check it by removing the fuel line at the tank and put it in res or on then put a hose to the small nipple and suck on it if no gas flow out then its no good Put it back on pri and start the bike if it runs that way then run it like that using on or off to stop gas flow when not running,untill you can get the new diaphram or another petcock with just a simlpel on off res none diaphram style
March 1, 201312 yr Author Hi Guys..after refitting the manifold with spacer holes matched to the size that of manifold she's starting ok both at PRI and ON...I tested it after 5 days of fitting today and started fine...thank you all for the support..
June 18, 201311 yr Author Problem is still there...I replaced the old carb with another disassembled one and bought another used manifold... She tries to start..but doesnt hold on...still the idle screw setup is confusing....Like dt502001 told, idle screw should be the issue? Removed air filter and cranked to see if its the cause. NO What if the float chamber does not get adequate fuel level to immerse jets in gas so the jets cannot suck in? I feel suicidal...it has been more than 1 year now, still struggling with this stupid bike..
